Ride of Silence 2017 Frisco

Shawnee Trail Cycling Club will host the Ride of Silence event in Frisco on Wed, May 17th, 6:30pm. We'll be rolling out from the CTE Center, 9889 Wade Blvd, Frisco. Lights, both front and rear, are highly recommended.

Each year we at Shawnee Trail Cycling Club cancel our Wednesday night rides in order to focus on this very important evening. Cyclists assemble to remember those that have been injured or killed while riding their bicycle on our roads. We’ll have an informal pre-ride ceremony and share experiences, then roll out for a silent, 8 mile ride at approximately 12 mph average. Our route will take us through Frisco and will demonstrate our resolve and plight to those around us.

Mission

To HONOR those who have been injured or killedTo RAISE AWARENESS that we are hereTo ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD

This event was started in Dallas in 2003 as a memorial ride for Larry Schwartz, a cyclist killed on the road as a result of being hit by a school bus mirror.

That first year, advertised by word of mouth and through email, brought 1,000 cyclists together at White Rock Lake. It has since morphed into a global event, with 2015 seeing 12,000 cyclists at 340 known events in cities around the world. We come together once per year, riding in silence to show remembrance and respect for our fellow cyclists that have been killed or injured as a result of accidents on the road.

Come join us.

Not riding? If you or someone you know has been impacted by an accident involving cars and bikes, please come share your story or just pay your respects.

The Ride of Silence...

Tonight we number many but ride as one

In honor of those not with us, friends, mothers, fathers, sisters, sons
